Rush Limbaugh teaching civics in Green Bay? Stay tuned

Rush Limbaugh is offering to teach a civics lesson to a Green Bay middle school after a teacher complained about his radio show's presentation of Tuesday's presidential inauguration broadcast throughout the school that included the conservative commentator's opinions.

The on-air offer came after an Edison Middle School teacher sent an e-mail to WTAQ (1360 AM) about the station's coverage of President Barack Obama's inauguration. The e-mail criticized the inclusion of Limbaugh's comments during Obama's speech.

During Limbaugh's show on Wednesday, he quoted the teacher's e-mail and played portions of her phone call recorded on the radio station's comment line.

"I understand that Rush Limbaugh built his career around his opinion and commentary. But I thought that even he would have the decency to honor such a historical and momentous event in our country's history," Limbaugh read from the e-mail.

"My students were shocked, angered, and saddened by the interruption."

I can't believe the school would subject its students to such tripe. Why didn't they tune to public radio for this historic event rather than listen to someone who said he hopes Obama fails?

1. He's inserted himself into inauguration week, bigtime.

Maybe the Obama/Clinton team can shelve him somehow.

6. well, here's a great teaching opportunity

"My students were shocked, angered, and saddened by the interruption."


I think since el-drugophile got inserted into the classrooms, it's only fair to have a Q and A session with the students as to why he is the bitter,little flaccid man he is. I nominate Garrison Keillor to go down there and answer those questions. He'd get the points across just fine and lighten the mood at the same time. ;)

8. Republican slime teaching our kids hate, greed & lies....that's all one gets from elitist Limbaugh!

9. I hope that the kids didn't have to listen to him during Bush's inaugurations ...

I mean, it would have been like having the audio portion only of a late-night Friday movie on Cinemax ...

11. I'ts clear that Green Bay School Districts agenda is

to use people,ie. rush, who verbally abuse those with pysically disabilties,Michael Fox, as a person to listen to. They really should have a flood of calls questioning their curriculm and instruction:9920-448-2190

Would have said they hated America?
